Default What a coincidence i had with a manifold

I asked a friend a few days ago if he had an extra driver side manifold wish i will need by going turbo, he brought it over today but it looked DIRTY from the outside and my first tought: iŽll take this thing to a sandblaster, after 15 minutes i hear a noise coming from my neigbor i open the door and he hired a mobile truck sandblasting some machines he had, i went over and ask them to sandbast the manifold, i think it turned out good, now some sanding on the part that touches the engine so we dont have any leaks, a coat of 2000* header paint and wrap it up and it should look and work like new
